| During a long bout with the consequences of
turpentine poisoning, the artist turned to acrylics and relearned
to paint. She studied with John Feeney in Vasse, Western Australia,
who introduced her to acrylic techniques which are different
from oils because acrylics dry rapidly and are water based.
She first painted numerous slot canyons, and miscellaneous dreams
and images. |

| On a spiritual quest to the monastery at Pearblossom,
CA. the artist wandered through the garden and came upon the
"He is risen" station of the cross, a figure with
upraised arms. She followed the arms with her eyes and was startled
by the sight of a silver cross moving slowly across the sky,
so she lay on the ground to witness. Dozens of crosses sailed
overhead, one right after another, and she lay there in ecstasy,
totally mesmerized and weeping. About 2 hours later, the pageant
stopped, she got up and danced in a huge circle. These two paintings
are samples of what she produced in the ensuing weeks. The truth
about the crosses was that they were gliders being towed by
the local gliding club pursuing their regularly scheduled meeting.
